About me

I’m not a lots of friends kind of guy. I’m comfortable with me, with being alone and with silence. But I love sport and like a lot of sports fans I like to ramble on about it.

Things like, how that goalkeeper would really be better off if he moved across a metre or so because he’s got his angles wrong and that free-kick is going to bend arou…

Told me so.

So this is my blog and my space to ramble. I kind of also have in the back of my mind that 1 day my 2 boys, The Noah and The Angus, will read this and know their Dad a bit better.

I am a fan of Liverpool FC, who play football (soccer) in the English Premier League (EPL). I am also a fan of the Boston Red Sox, who ply their trade in Major League Baseball (MLB) and Perth Glory Women, who knock in goals via Australian soccer’s W-League. The final part of my sports fan quartet is the Fremantle Dockers, who can be found in the Australian Football League (AFL).

I occasionally purport to follow other teams or individuals – Mark Webber and Daniel Ricciardo in motorsport, Cadel Evans on a bike, the Australian cricket teams and so on. Mostly these folk are on my list because I am a proud Australian – You can find me in Perth, Western Australia, where I was born.

With the sport I try to be accurate and to credit where due but don’t rely on me for constant scores and updates. If you want to learn more about something I post then I’ll try to link to authoritative sources but you can always check out Wikipedia yourself.
